What a fun project!
This is for my goddaughter, but she’s away on vacation so I had my schnauzer, Peanut sit in as a model. Make no mistake, this little guy deserves a little tent for sleeping in for being such a fantastic pet. ❤
The tutorial can be found here. Of all the hula hoop tent tutorials out there, I thought this one was the cutest and had pretty great instructions. I couldn’t resist making a few modifications to make the process easier. I wish that I had made it just a tad tighter around the top so it didn’t look so floppy – I was so scared that it wasn’t going to be wide enough that I overcompensated. The tent and border are from my goddaughter’s bedding from when she was in a crib. She’s 4 now and her mom had saved the bedding for a sewing project. The drapey part is a fitted sheet that I had left over from a previous project so all in all it came together rather cheaply! Always nice when I’m doing a project that requires yards and yards of fabric.
One thing I did learn is that there is double-sided Velcro out there. Did you all know this? It’s called “One Wrap”. I used it to keep the hula hoop in place.
This was my spring break project and now that spring break is over, it’s back to my real job: homeschooling the kids. Happy Spring Y’all!
